LAS VEGAS (LifeSiteNews) — After winning a stunning victory in a much-anticipated competition for the World Boxing Council (WBC) title Saturday, undisputed heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury gave all the glory to Jesus Christ, saying, “my Lord and Savior rose me to my feet tonight to give Him the glory.”
In what was widely hailed as an incredible fight Saturday night at the packed T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, internationally-acclaimed British boxer Tyson Fury (also known as the “Gypsy King”) held on to his WBC heavyweight title after a suspenseful bout resulting in a definitive knockout of opponent Deontay Wilder in the eleventh round.
Knocked down twice, Fury sent Wilder to the mat three times before an emphatic victory which marked Wilder’s second and final loss to Fury out of a “trilogy” of match-ups between the two heavyweight pros which began with a controversial split decision in 2018.
After the fight, Fury answered questions from interviewers who wanted to know what gave him the strength and motivation to keep going and claim victory after the tense and difficult final fight with a tough and dedicated opponent.
“Walk me through what got you up twice after you had put him down,” the interviewer prompted.
Adorned with his championship belts and wearing a trucker hat that said “Jesus El Rey Viene” (which means “Jesus the King is coming” in Spanish), Fury said, “First of all, I’d just like to say thank you to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the mighty name of Jesus...”

I’m sure our Lord would be very proud of Tyson battering another human being for the amusement of others.
A white dude that proclaimed Christ as Savior.
Cue the anti-racist and liberals who absolutely hate White Christian Males.
You’d be surprised who the Lord is ‘proud’ of.
He loathes false preachers who preach false doctrine and damns their congregations to hell.
Fury’s sport occupation is hardly as bad as most occupations out there these days.
I’m sure no less proud of your belittling of other people’s accomplishments; it was a boxing match, not a random street crime. Unclinch and lighten up, Francis...
What a fight.
Wilder’s lack of sportsmanship is disgusting.
Fury will win some. Fury will lose some. But Christ will always be King!
And an overhand right sent from the heavans
Right on. Boxing is a sport, just like basketball or soccer. It’s possible to hurt someone, or get hurt, in almost any athletic contest. I’m 46 years old, a fundamentalist Christian, and still do submission wrestling myself. Regardless of who makes who tap out, the guys I compete with are still some of my best friends.
He did whip the heck out a bunch of moneychangers and I’m sure those getting gouged by those huckers were quite amused.
If you heard the garbage spewing from Deontay’s mouth you’d understand why it was so satisfying.
The first time I read this, my brain registered “Mike Tyson”. LOL.
Every punch to the jaw and face of his opponent was blessed.
He’s one of us.
With a name like Tyson Fury, he sounds like a Mike Tyson want to be.
But I’m sure that’s just a coincident. He chose the name after Tyson Chicken plants.
Looks to be of some Irish descent. Fist fighting and the temperament to do so well is given.
Indeed. Jacob wrestled an angel and earned the name “Israel” for his efforts. I believe the Almighty is just fine with duels of strength and endurance.
The Bible has many Boxing, Wrestling, and Soldier analogies when discussing “contending for the faith”
He said he was named after Iron Mike. They’re built a bit different. He’s 6’9” 277 lbs...and white.
